I just bought tab tops in the stripes like the first picture with the bed and striped pillow…burnished red…faded red…I am liking these stripes…interesting and versatile…I should paint some writing on an upholstered piece. I like this and your last post. Thank you Trish.

Except for paining my dining room Pratt and Lambert’s “Regimental Red” in 1993, I am not really a red person. I later started my collection of red transferware and I seem able to incorporate it here and there without much of a struggle.. It is really much easier than one would think to play off of. I had one agent/client who insisted that every property I photo styled for her be accented in red. And there are so many delicious flavors of red. Red toile and red stripes…all such wonderful images and the French still adore red. ~jermaine~

I cannot get over these images you have put together…they are just stunning!

Red is such a warm and rich color – I find great comfort in it. My Mother uses
a lot of red in the home, and perhaps that’s exactly why. Thanks for such a
lovely post – I missed visiting your blog while I was away 🙂

I appreciate this ode to red. I know in your heart gray and neutrals will always sing your name. Texture will win over pattern. Calm over organized chaos. It was lovely of you to make your blog well red for the moment for those of us who will always love red, but who also love a woman who follows her own style and shares it with us in such beautiful images.

Trish, your blog is absolutely amazing! I love everything vintage, antique and French and your posts are wonderful. I’ve only just found you but I’m sure I’ll be back many times. Keep up the great work!

OK, so I’m drooling over those toile pelmets… there is a lot of red in my home, which I inherited from my mother, and I have added more, including a collection of red transferware… LOVE all your red inspiration!
